📞🕵️♂️ Scammers exploit Google’s phone number and subdomains in sophisticated phishing attempt. A software engineer, Zach Latta, reported a phishing attack where scammers called him using Google’s official phone number and sent an email from a legitimate Google subdomain, g.co. The caller, posing as Google Workspace support, claimed Latta’s account was compromised, but he quickly suspected a scam. Despite the email passing authentication checks, Latta recorded the conversation, revealing the scammers’ tactics to gain access to his account. Google has not yet addressed this incident, and experts are concerned about how attackers accessed Google’s features. Users are urged to remain vigilant against suspicious communications and report any concerns to Google’s security team.
